Summary A new formulation is presented for deep circular tunnels in rock with cylindrical anisotropy. The formulation is an exact solution since it satisfies equilibrium, strain compatibility, and the anisotropic constitutive model. Complete solutions have been found for two scenarios: tunnel with excavation damage zone, and tunnel with rockbolt support. The solution is based on the assumption of a deep, circular tunnel in a medium with two homogeneous zones: an inner zone surrounding the tunnel, which is either isotropic or anisotropic, and an outer zone, for the remainder of the medium, which is isotropic. Plane strain conditions, elastic response of rock, rockbolts and support, and simultaneous excavation and support installation are also assumed. For tunnels surrounded by an excavation damage zone with reduced rock properties, the tangential stresses and the radial deformations at the tunnel wall are very sensitive to both the magnitude of stiffness reduction of the damaged rock and the size of the damaged zone. The effect of the rockbolts on the rock is approximated by treating the rockbolt-rock composite as a material with cylindrical anisotropy with stiffnesses related to the properties of the rock and rockbolts, and spacing of the rockbolts. Comparisons between the analytical solution and a numerical method show small differences and provide confidence in the approach suggested.
